Is Giannis Antetokounmpo considering leaving the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason? His first post on social media following the team’s exit from the 2025 NBA Playoffs, sponsored by Google, has raised more questions than it answered.
In a mysterious post, the “Greek Freak” shared an image of himself in a warm-up shirt reading ‘Win for Cream City,’ and included emojis of prayer hands and a salute.
The post quickly gained traction on Sunday night, leaving fans speculating whether it’s an indication of his intent to depart from the Bucks or a reaffirmation of his commitment to the team.

Currently, Giannis has a contract that runs through the 2026-27 season, which includes a player option for the 2027-28 season. His latest contract with the Bucks, finalized in 2023, restricts trade possibilities and implies he may be less available on the market.
The Greek sensation, originally from Athens, transitioned from being a little-known talent to being selected by the Bucks as the 15th overall pick in 2013. He has since risen to become the face of the franchise, leading them to an NBA championship in 2021, where he was named Finals MVP. Following that pinnacle moment, the team made it to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2022, but they faced early playoff exits in 2023, 2024, and 2025.
The most notable differences from past disappointments stem from Giannis potentially weighing his options for securing a second championship as he turns 30 this December, coupled with the serious injury to Damian Lillard, which complicates the team’s prospects for the upcoming 2025-26 season in Milwaukee.
